  • This is a beautiful hike with a gradual ascent through the conifers. The slope then becomes steeper as the landscape opens out onto the surrounding mountains, leading to a magnificent hanging valley which you then climb gently up to the lake.

  • Follow the path at the end of the car park until you reach the track, turn left towards the Cascade de la Pisse, then go past the waterfall, continuing on the track until you reach the next bridge over the Rabioux.
